I've been closely following the developments of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement and its potential impact on our industry.

I'm a software developer and very good with a spreadsheet and all, but I'm wondering if I could secure an experienced lender who not only can lend, but also provide advice on a deal like this from having financed similar situations before.Pointers to financial calculators for such an endevour and hotel/motel renovation-style lenders & contacts appreciated.Thanks,Matthew

They provide a format for calculating the bid but no real directions with it.

Did Wells Fargo require you to provide any local address?

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provide support for the property tax appeals process.

I am already so thankful for the bigger pockets ecosystem in providing so much helpful information.

I used to work for a utility in operations, power generation, energy trading and in Strategic planning, and know just enough about the electrical grid to be dangerous.Renewables are a significantly larger impact than when I was working in the business. 

With no experience and not crazy strong personal finances to pledge to the bank/lender, its doubtful many banks/lenders will provide the construction loan on a spec build. 

I provide it with every single lease whether they're moving in tomorrow or next month.

The 2 to 3 bedroom upgrade is one of the highest impact changes you can make.
